A frame device of a fan comprises a lower frame and a plurality of jut units. The lower frame is hollow. The jut units are disposed on the lower frame in a way of spacing apart from each other and extend upward and slant outward to constitute an entrance such that a plurality of elongated passages are formed for fluid flow. A fan wheel with a plurality of fan blades is associated with the lower frame. When the fan wheel rotates, more fluid can flow in the fan to enhance heat dissipation efficiency and reduce noise.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A frame device for a fan comprising: a square lower frame with four lateral sides and four triangular corners; providing a hub seat at a hollow space thereof for being joined to a hub of a fan wheel; a plurality of rectangular jut units, each of the rectangular jut units comprising a facial side and two opposite long lateral sides, and extending from the four lateral sides of the frame except the four corners; and an inverted trapezoidal jut unit with a facial side and two opposite slant lateral sides extending from the respective corner of the frame; wherein the facial sides of all the jut units are disposed to face the fan wheel and to surround the fan in a way of inclining outward an angle and a plurality of elongated spaces are formed between the jut units such that air, which is induced by the fan laterally, is capable of moving through the elongated spaces along a direction perpendicular to the four lateral sides of the frame.
2. The frame device for a fan as defined in claim 1 , wherein each of the jut units has a circular top.
